# The Methylated Spirits Regulations 1987, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke and replace the Methylated Spirits Regulations 1983. They differ from the 1983 Regulations in the following respects.
Regulation 15(1)(c) introduces a single new formulation of denatured ethanol. This replaces the 3 formulations of denatured ethanol specified in the corresponding 1983 regulation. Regulation 15(2) and the Schedule contain consequential changes.
Regulation 25(1) requires the receipt of written statements of authority from customers in the Isle of Man (in addition to those in the United Kingdom). Regulation 25(3)(d) contains a consequential change.
Regulation 25(3)(c) relieves a dispensing chemist from the requirement to obtain a written statement of authority where he sells industrial methylated spirits for medical use on the prescription or order of a medical practitioner.
The other regulations remain as before.
